PSG secured a fortunate 3-2 win over hosts Brest in Ligue 1 after Kylian Mbappe's late goal in the 89th minute helped the Parisian side make it four straight wins this season.
Coach Luis Enrique's team, which just won 3-0 against AC Milan in the Champions League group stage a few days ago, started confidently and continuously put pressure on the home team's defense.
In the 3rd minute, Lee Kang In almost opened the score for the away team but goalkeeper Bizot successfully saved the goal. 2 minutes later, the Dutch goalkeeper continued to block Zaire-Emery's dangerous shot.

However, the home side only held out for 18 minutes as Bradley Barcola beat two home players before passing the ball to Warren Zaire-Emery who fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box to open the scoring for PSG.
By the 28th minute, the score was 2-0 when Korean striker Lee Kang In created a favorable pass for Mbappe to put his name on the scoreboard.
Trailing by two goals, the home team Brest fought back strongly and appealed twice for a penalty but failed. However, Brest still managed to score a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 after striker Steve Mounie headed past goalkeeper Donnarumma after a pass from teammate Kenny Lala.
In the second half, Brest pushed up their attacking formation to find an equalizer and achieved their goal when Le Douaro headed a beautiful header from a corner kick that goalkeeper Donnarumma could not block.
The game returned to the starting line and Brest almost took the lead in the 70th minute but Donarumma saved PSG from a clear goal. Just when people were starting to think about a draw, PSG were awarded a surprise penalty after Kolo Muani was fouled in the box.

Mbappe took the responsibility of taking the free kick and this player made his teammates scared after his shot failed to beat goalkeeper Marco Bizot, but the French striker still took advantage of the rebound to rush in and score, bringing a dramatic 3-2 victory for PSG.
This victory helped coach Enrique and his team temporarily rise to second place on the rankings, 1 point behind the leading team Nice after 10 rounds.
